It is worth celebration.Look for Change Prepare for change all time and utilise new skills (which you would not have had if you had not experienced change) to respond in your interests in future. You might even be constructive in generating changes for yourself.Share Share your positive experiences with others.

4) How should I prepare? Make sure that you know about any research, readings, or surveys required to participate. Ask about expectations for other participants because this could influence your preparation. Attend only if you can prepare adequately or suggest another time for meeting. 5) What should I bring? Should you bring a laptop? Will you be asked to give a presentation? Should you bring reports, data, or other information? Make sure that you have enough time to obtain tools and materials needed for effective participation.
